Epicly Later'd: Brandon Westgate (Part 1/3)

- Brandon Westgate's part in Stay Gold was fucking awesome. To people really paying attention, this was not much of a surprise-he's been killing it for about 6 years now. Brandon is usually the kind of person that people write about by saying "he lets his skating do the talking," and that really doesn't work for our purposes, so Patrick went up to Wareham and coaxed Brandon into talking about cranberry bogs, lawn mower parts, and dentists who trade Vicodins for BJs.

"He doesn't act like your normal 22 year old guy". Yeah he acts like how an adult should. The dude is living the dream right there.
Nah i'd die of boredom but fair play man each to their own.
I was gonna say the exact same thing.
he really looks like dewey from malcolm in the middle especially when he was younger :D
i was about to comment the same thing hahaha
Haha!!! Omg , try dat
god damn, this video just made me love Brandon Westgate that much more. Hes such a genuine, chill, mellow person!!
I love how he is similar to Malto in the sense that he wants to stay home where he is happy and comfortable instead of giving in to the "Cali" expectations.
that beginning spot is sick, that's not even what I have in my hometown. I'd love to have that.
Jesse Lindsay I was looking at that parking thinking it really wasn't anywhere near as bad as they made it sound. I'd you can really skate then you can get down on anything.
I would be so down with that mini ramp
I totally feel that. The parks we have here suck and we’re funded by the PD. Horribly built
His hom park is literally a training ground for the exact style that he possesses. Does anyone else see this?
Yes!
such a beautiful mentality that he has. seems like he really lives in the momment. hence him not complaining, and not wanting more and more.
From AZ and live in los angeles now, but mad respect to the east coast skaters that gotta deal with gnarly winters, sketchy spots, old architecture, etc.
role model material for young skaters
his home life is a dream. beautiful home!
Shoutout to my aunt for taking me to a premiere of Stay Gold. I was only like 10 years old, with little interest in skating but seeing that video and the reactions from locals really got me passionate about it.
just watched the antwuan dixon series and then this. major contrast
Hahaha that's funny
Imagine Antwuan moving in with him and his girlfriend?
"This spot sucks to you guys, but I love this place..!"
1:25 - 1:31 Westagte's the man. One of my favorites for sure.
i would kill for a spot/park like than where i live
Depressing? Check yourself. This guy is living the most comfortable and chill life imaginable. The fact he's content with the basics and like the quiet life is admirable. Wicked doc, about to see the other two parts.
This dude is the definition of "well adjusted" and responsible. Starting off adult life on that footing, just sets you up for a positive trajectory. Hope he's doing well.
2:14 - Best back three kickflip I have ever seen.
I skated with brandon growing up in wareham. He is a reawlly mellow/chill dude. Never has let anything go to his head. Keep on keepin on bro!
Westgate is awesome he skates fast, goes big, and flows smooth
Much respect to Westgate. Love his ethic, his approach, style, everything is in place. This man will be a contributor to society, no doubt.
When your address is 11, you know your in the middle of nowhere.
Lmao
Or
He became my favorite skater after this video series… what a cool dude. Refreshing to see a guy be unapologetically himself- which isn’t to say others aren’t, but it’s obvious he isn’t acting like this to try to be cool in a way he isn’t
Awesome documentaries. Good job Vice. More skateboarding videos !!!
I just binge all these once in a while. Looks like I'm back
I don't see what's so bad about that area for skating. I like his park more than any of the ones near where I live. All we have are bowls. I'm not against bowls, but I don't understand why we can't have any variation.
I live very close to him and there is no spots really skating is not popular, really the ground and weather usually suck but you just get used to it.
I met Brandon real quick on a Volcom tour in Canada when he was an Am. Super cool and down to Earth. Good guy for sure.
This series is amazing!!
I've always been a fan of Westgate's skating but this epicly later'd made me a fan of the kid in general. Dude kills it in life.
I know Brandon he's a really cool guy and an extremely good skater he helps his family out even with all of the rep and responsibility of being a pro skater
Also from MA
and i appreciate his character
Dude is put together! More power to ya Brandon. Keep rollin'
when city people visit there friend in the country
does anyone else think westgate kinda looks like dewey from malcom in the middle? hahahaha
Every once in a while true wisdom is found on the internet. This is one of those times. Thank you for you comment. It has changed me.
hes my inspiration.. Saw him skating on an emerica demo, in Oslo, Norway.
Hes so nice to everybody, and has the best pop I have EVER seen!
I met his guy today, so chill love this dude
What an awesome dude. Thanks Vice
Brandon and my dad would be best friends
Great episode! I'd love to see Dennis Busenitz on the show :)
Watching him skate makes me think he's a thrasher boy. Cracking bottles on his head, riding in a van all the time, getting hammered, then skates like a maniac. This guy is just an old man in a young guy's body, but the second he's on that board he unleashes a fucking beast !
I love this guy. Hes style of skate is on point
His life and that skate park is awesome!
well needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sick vid. Never heard of this guy but he is realllly good. Most interesting Epicly Later'd yet.
Such a nice kid from what ive seen in this, he seems to always look for the positives
This was the best version of vice
Another good vice documentary.
sick interview, westgate's my favorite skater
this guy is really chill man smart guy
This is a chill kid. Classy.
If they want to show a personality we haven't really seen to much of, they should do Epicly Later'd with Grant taylor. I have flipped the internet upside down trying to find footage of him saying more than three words. Plus hes a fuckin beast!
his pop and style is amazing...i cant put my finger on why it looks so good but it just does
Dude has enough space in his back yard to build a skate park
That's probably a project he's been thinking about working on.
A guy that can build stuff is an absolute 10.
This guy seems like a responsible person. That's rare these days. He does his own thing, lives his own rules and keeps it all together. Impressive.
Chillest guy ever
1:43 powered through that nose blunt slide. that little segment in that park and he crushed it!
Westgate is bad ass! Dude is so chill.
He's so down to earth. I used to think all the dudes that partied and shit were so cool when I was a little kid watching Baker 2g and shit. But like Minor said, it's fucking awesome that he's so young and already has his shit figured out. He seems like the most normal, chill dude you'd ever know but he just fucking kills when he steps foot on a skateboard.
Like WOW...these segments r the best I actually really , really like this guy very interesting & positive !! #EastCoast !
The way he irks his tricks look so good
Definitely my favorite skater, chill guy!
i have 100x more respect for this guy now
Why does everyone think that everyone should move to LA when they get famous. Its fucking stupid i love it here in cali but its annoying
I feel u dude, all these new ppl cause the housing prices to go up and it just makes it harder on us locals that already live here
its easier to film in cali
Such a good attitude!!
style is amazing. . .I obe that he goes all out on evry trick. . and pushes so hard and so fast/ / peace. . Eric The Eturn
I heard about that. I mostly skated at the park in Hyannis (forgetting the name, they do paintball too) but when I come back maybe I'll be able to take my skates and check it out.
That park actually looks super fun!
My favorite type of parks are the ones like west gates local park. Just pure fun
Only 21 and settling down already! All he needs is a kid and he's got a perfect comfortable life.
god damn that skate park looks hella fun
Hmm, its a trip to see this guy, i have never heard of him, i was just clicking on the later'd stuff but he skates super fast, the shit he does takes balls and he has some intense footage...
why would anyone say that park sucks? it looks perfect. one of the best local parks ive ever seen.
that park looks rad
WESTGATEEEEEE thank you!!!
My favourite skater at the moment. So unique and so fucking fearless.
Don Barley looks like an older version of Brandon Westgate
Life bangers.
like previous people said he does go fast and does daring stuff that im just like thats insane but he has confidence and doesnt let the scare get to him. he goes fucking ham in some of these skateboard vids.
im from california and that park still looked insanely fun
This dude is a beast
That skatepark is in mattapoiset and its actually mad nice i live rite by there, i had no idea hes from around here 508 allday baby
that park is dope. i dont get why anyone would hate on it.
I would do anything to be able to say..."you know, if I ever need a job." YOU ROCK WESTGATE.
sick dude in all aspects
I'm surprised he hasn't built skatepark yet.
what a good kid.
Best kickflips in existance!
His dog is awesome!
Yoooooooo
Wareham Represent
Yesssssssssss
Smart kid, more 21yr olds I hope will begin that work ethic that's now lacking.
I thought this show was on skaters that were going to be big then something happened to them. Why is it called epically laterd
amazing skater one of my role models most def.
its crazy how the related video to this is "Drinking & Skating w/ Dustin Dollin"
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY
my favorite skater :)))
This guy is way mellow.. I'm a big fan! Sick skater too
The best pop
that back 180
i just got done watching the antwuan dixon eisode and this video is a major difference.
